wikipedia_2018-1001 | Also in 2015 , both Kulm and Planica finished upgrading their hills from K185 to K200 . All three aforementioned hills – Planica , Kulm and Vikersund – are now equipped for jumps exceeding 240 m , as well as having improved facilities for athletes and spectators . Although the new hills are much larger than ever before , most of them feature longer and less steeply angled slopes , designed purely for the V @-@ style and with the knowledge of 80 years ' worth of world record progression . <unk> tables have also been placed further back from the knoll and flight curves made shallower in order to allow athletes to glide more efficiently along the contour of the slope . This has significantly reduced such precarious heights over the knoll as was the case in the early 1990s and prior : in that era , athletes who knew only of the parallel style would aim to jump in an upward trajectory off the table , reaching vast heights but at the expense of distance . Furthermore , rather than glide , they instead plummeted towards the slope . However , compared to Vikersund , Planica is still extremely steep in the flight phase . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1022 | Bates adhered to a different explanation of accommodation that had already been generally disregarded by the medical community of his time . Bates ' model had the muscles surrounding the eyeball controlling its focus .

Commenting on this hypothesis in an interview with <unk> , ophthalmologist Richard E. Bensinger stated " When we put drops in the eye to dilate the pupil , they paralyze the focusing muscles .

wikipedia_2018-1027 | The king was reluctant to shed blood , and this greatly irritated the ultra @-@ reactionary Chamber of Deputies , who felt that Louis XVIII was not executing enough .

wikipedia_2018-1044 | The Gregorian missionaries focused their efforts in areas where Roman settlement had been concentrated . It is possible that Gregory , when he sent the missionaries , was attempting to restore a form of Roman civilisation to England , modelling the church 's organisation after that of the church in Francia at that time . Another aspect of the mission was how little of it was based on monasticism . One monastery was established at Canterbury , which later became St Augustine 's Abbey , but although Augustine and some of his missionaries had been monks , they do not appear to have lived as monks at Canterbury . Instead , they lived more as secular clergy serving a cathedral church , and it appears likely that the sees established at Rochester and London were organised along similar lines . The Gaulish and Italian churches were organised around cities and the territories controlled by those cities . Pastoral services were centralised , and churches were built in the larger villages of the cities ' territorial rule . The seat of the bishopric was established in the city and all churches belonged to the diocese , staffed by the bishop 's clergy . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1056 | As an artist , Francis Bacon was a late starter . He painted sporadically and without commitment during the late 1920s and early 1930s , when he worked as an interior decorator and designer of furniture and rugs . He later admitted that his career was delayed because he had spent so long looking for a subject that would sustain his interest . He began to paint images based on the Crucifixion in 1933 , when his then @-@ patron Eric Hall commissioned a series of three paintings based on the subject . These abstract figurations contain formal elements typical of their time , including diaphanous forms , flat backgrounds , and surrealist props such as flowers and umbrellas . The art critic Wieland Schmied noted that while the early works are " aesthetically pleasing " , they lack " a sense of urgency or inner necessity ; they are beautiful , but lifeless " . The sentiment is echoed by Hugh Davies , who wrote that Bacon 's 1933 paintings " suggest an artist concentrating more on formal than on expressive concerns " . Bacon admitted that his early works were not successful ; they were merely decorative and lacking in substance . He was often harshly self @-@ critical during this period , and would abandon or destroy canvasses before they were completed . He abandoned the Crucifixion theme , then largely withdrew from painting in frustration , instead immersing himself in love affairs , drinking and gambling . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1088 | Because A Trip to the Moon preceded the development of narrative film editing by filmmakers such as Edwin S. Porter and D. W. Griffith , it does not use the cinematic vocabulary to which American and European audiences later became accustomed , a vocabulary built on the purposeful use of techniques such as varied camera angles , intercutting , juxtapositions of shots , and other filmic ideas . Rather , each camera setup in Méliès 's film is designed as a distinct dramatic scene uninterrupted by visible editing , an approach fitting the theatrical style in which the film was designed . Similarly , film scholars have noted that the most famous moment in A Trip to the Moon plays with temporal continuity by showing an event twice : first the capsule is shown suddenly appearing in the eye of an anthropomorphic moon ; then , in a much closer shot , the landing occurs very differently , and much more realistically , with the capsule actually plummeting into believable lunar terrain . This kind of nonlinear storytelling — in which time and space are treated as repeatable and flexible rather than linear and causal — is highly unconventional by the standards of Griffith and his followers ; before the development of continuity editing , however , other filmmakers performed similar experiments with time . ( Porter , for instance , used temporal discontinuity and repetition extensively in his 1903 film Life of an American Fireman . ) Later in the twentieth century , with sports television 's development of the instant replay , temporal repetition again became a familiar device to screen audiences . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1095 | Music and singing were important in England during the medieval period , being used in religious ceremonies , court occasions and to accompany theatrical works . Singing techniques called <unk> were introduced in England in the 13th century , accompanied by instruments such as the guitar , harp , pipes and organ . Henry IV sponsored an extensive range of music in England , while his son Henry V brought back many influences from occupied France . Carols became an important form of music in the 15th century ; originally these had been a song sung during a dance with a prominent refrain — the 15th century form lost the dancing and introduced strong religious overtones . Ballads were also popular from the late 14th century onwards , including the Ballad of Chevy Chase and others describing the activities of Robin Hood . Miracle plays were performed to communicate the Bible in various locations . By the late 14th century , these had been extended into vernacular mystery plays which performed annually over several days , broken up into various cycles of plays ; a handful have survived into the 21st century . Guilds competed to produce the best plays in each town and performances were often an expression of civic identity . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1098 | In the 2007 – 08 season , Kisnorbo was relegated to League One with the club , but was also on the receiving end of no less than three controversial refereeing decisions . His first was a goal against Scunthorpe United on 20 October , which referee Scott Mathieson ruled out for an offside , depriving Leicester of an away win . Video replay showed that Kisnorbo 's disallowed goal was actually onside , greatly frustrating him , while Leicester coach Gerry Taggart commented " We have all seen the replay of Patrick 's goal in the dressing room and he is clearly not offside . " Kisnorbo 's second was a red card by referee Phil Joslin for what the linesman claimed was a foul on Pablo <unk> . Joslin awarded Ipswich Town a penalty kick , and Ipswich won 3 – 1 . Joslin admitted his mistake , and had the ban rescinded the following day after video replays showed Kisnorbo actually won the ball outside the penalty area . Leicester 's then @-@ manager Ian Holloway described the sending off as a " complete <unk> " . The Leicester club was fined £ 3 @,@ 000 by The Football Association , however , because of Kisnorbo 's teammates ' angry appeals to Joslin during the game . Kisnorbo 's third was another red card by referee Mike Pike for a foul on Billy Sharp on 5 April 2008 . Pike awarded Sheffield United a penalty kick as they won 3 – 0 . Video replays , however , showed no contact between the two , confirming that Sharp was diving . Holloway branded Pike 's decision " embarrassing " , saying " that was the biggest blunder I 've seen in a long time . " Leicester also succeeded in their appeal against the second red card . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1099 | The middle of the 20th century saw a number of very important changes in American popular music . The field of pop music developed tremendously during this period , as the increasingly low price of recorded music stimulated demand and greater profits for the record industry . As a result , music marketing became more and more prominent , resulting in a number of mainstream pop stars whose popularity was previously unheard of . Many of the first such stars were Italian @-@ American crooners like Dean Martin , Rudy Vallee , Tony Bennett , Perry Como , Frankie Laine and , most famously , the " first pop vocalist to engender hysteria among his fans " Frank Sinatra . [ 36 ] The era of the modern teen pop star , however , began in the 1960s . Bubblegum pop groups like The Monkees were chosen entirely for their appearance and ability to sell records , with no regard to musical ability . The same period , however , also saw the rise of new forms of pop music that achieved a more permanent presence in the field of American popular music , including rock , soul and pop @-@ folk . By the end of the 1960s , two developments had completely changed popular music : the birth of a counterculture , which explicitly opposed mainstream music , often in tandem with political and social activism , and the shift from professional composers to performers who were both singers and songwriters . | wikipedia-2018 |
